CALGARY – A Calgary family advisor has taken over as chair of the TIGER 21 Calgary group of high net worth investors.Jennifer Fuhr has become the lead chair of the group, replacing well-known Calgary business man Hal Walker, who is stepping down to become a member of the peer-to-peer learning group.

The TIGER 21 (The Investment Group for Enhanced Results in the 21st Century) group in Calgary was formed in the spring of 2011 with Walker as its chair. Fuhr became co-chair in March 2012.

It has 12 members in the city.

“I am excited to be expanding my role with TIGER 21. We provide a truly unique experience for our members to interact with one another and help with issues unique to the ultra-wealthy. I look forward to leading the facilitation of the Calgary group meetings and recruiting new members from the Alberta region,” said Fuhr in a news release.

Walker is known as a business and community leader with a career as a real estate, oil and gas, and stock market entrepreneur and investor. He is also a past chair of the Calgary Chamber of Commerce.
